I made the mistake of thinking I could run to my great grandmother to save me. She saw me running down the street crying and locked her screen door on me. She told me to get my butt back out there in the street and wait for the bully.

When the bully saw me standing my ground he decided to walk on the other side of the street and never had a problem again. We ended up as friends but there was no way to avoid him in our tiny town.

2 smart parents/grandparents. You may get beat up, standing up but that is the only way. You have to confront a bully. Nowdays kids don’t seem to learn that because usually “mamma” fixes things. Kids IMO aren’t learning how to appropriately problem solve.
